nested "while" loop

[TobesC]

I have a situation where different variable values cause a different variable to have a word value.

 

switch ($a) {

case 1: $var="var1"; break;

case 2: $var="var2"; break;

etc.

}

 

is there a way i can write a while loop to read a text file inside the switch statement to save myself some time?

 

thanks.

of course, you can have as much PHP within a case of a switch as you want....

<?php
switch ($a) {
case 1: $var="var1";
while(whatever is in equal to something) {
do something
increment counter
}
break;
case 2: $var="var2"; break;
etc.
}
